Kree had the  fire  going an hour  or so before  the others were to wake. he placed the  left over  rabbt on  a stick, near the fire to warm. He also had  some berries  he found  while make  his ciruits around his  sleeping  comrades. laying  on a cloth sack. He, himslef  was chewing on some tubers he had  found, his  eyes  watching  the road, now  and again looking up at the sky to  watch for  bird sign...

Fruga rises, stretches, looks around wide-eyed, and remarks Hey, everybody! Nothing happened!

And he readies to to take to the road.

In reply to Bruga Honeyfinder (msg #182):

Yawning and stretching, Clair does a mental head count of the group then goes into her meditation and prayers, absently petting Snare, finishes (OOC same spells as before) and gets her gear ready for travel.  Nods to Kree with a smile for having started breakfast.  Notes Gosric is with Alvair, so Alvair is under watch I'll be right back and moves off the the brush, looks to Snare, I wonder if you can hunt more rabbits, calls Snare over and points into the brush and says Hunt then moves into the brush seeing if she can disturb any small game but not straying to far away from camp, sling at the ready.

OOC depends on the outcome of the "hunt" to what she and snare bring back

Clair returns soon (with/without food from the hunt) and helps with breakfast, eating and cleaning up.  Making sure to feed Snare a hopefully good breakfast.


Gosric, did you heal his throat?

Senuviel wakes up, bids everyone morning while he goes to the cloth sack and helps himself with some barries. Then he sits under a tree in order to study his spellbook. If you don't mind, I have to study my spells. Then we can decide our plan of action.

WIth the help of the dog the party will manage 4 rabbits. The attempts by Gosric will fail he realizes it will take a much more powerul spell then he or Clair has. Otherwise the party is ready to be back towards Lotan.

[Private to Gosric the Full: As I told Clair I will tell you his ailment requires a full power heal spell, a tad beyond your abilities. Your church or hers will have people who can do the spell for a fee. :)]

Bruga appreciates the rabbits and takes the left front on the way.

  Kree, once more  takes the  rear guard....adniring his  work  on the dead slaver, until he allows the rest to get a  good  20 yard  lead.

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg #187):

Clair makes sure to give Snare teh good boy for each rabbit he helps hunt down and makes sure to give him his fare share but not over feed him.

Clair will take middle with Snare and Alvair as they head to Lotan.  Alvair, so what do you want us to do with you once we are back at Lotan?

Alviar shrugs and writes "turn over or heal."

In reply to Clair Brandywhine (msg #183):

"No, I don't have the power.  We'll have to bring him back to the village.  My temple will be able to do something."  Gosric sits down to enjoy the rabbit; there are few benefits to outdoor living over a warm, comfortable temple, but rabbit cooked over an open fire was one of them.  Despite his feelings yesterday towards Snare, he even reaches out his hand and tries to make friends.  Catching such a delicious breakfast is the first step towards Gosric's heart.

"So..." he says between bites, ""Are you guys going back to Lotan?  Are you on some kind of quest?"

  The orc-humper that captured you, had  hired us  as Guards...some of  us became suspect...when we heard  noise in the wagon...Later..after  we  reached  the town..I followed him and  2 henchmen a barn were they  emptied the wagon of sleeping  slaves...seems  he used magic  to quell them. I also over heard him say something abou the last set of guards...so..there is a group like  ours, dead or captured somewhere.  Our  Task now, to  to go back  and try to see where those slaves  are...and Kill as many of the slavers  as we might. Snare might be able to help us  in that aspect...he did not  just pop up inside that wagon. There is a good bet he was kept, in or near the barn..if so...he might be  able to help us ferret out  the slaves  and the henchmen...

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg #191):

Yes, at least me and Kree are going back to Lotan to hunt down this slave trade to try to stop it or rescue slaves.   

What say the rest of you, go back to Cabain or hang with me, Snare (with a smile and pet of his head) and Kree for a real adventure and not some wagon escort duty.

Turns to Alvair, Alvair, turning you in is the easiest to do, but I feel that will not get much accomplished for either of us other then you being hung by the neck till dead.  heck, even if the law does not do it, Astar's cronies will. Sighs, well the other option, to heal you up, will cost coin, which, unless you have stashed somewhere, you do not have.  Either me or Gosric could find out how much it costs but for our efforts, we would need more then a silent reply. 

Honestly, I would give us enough information to make us go with the heal route as Lady Luck Tymora would say (she touches her holy symbol) let the outcome be the dice rolling on the table.  Shrugs, if you choose your fate differently by staying silent, I will have no choice but to let Kree escort you in to the authorities with a nonchalant grin that passes to Kree and back to Alvair.

  The  elf nods  with out looking over,...the roads have been bad  this week...some  people never get  where they are going..Beshaba's Kiss  and all....

Bruga is friendly with the dog but gives not commands.

We should be careful with this. Unless you think the city council is in on this...and the secrecy speaks against that...I suggest we go straight to the town council. Remember, the person and the things we agreed to guard are gone.

"...Some one, maybe a lot of someones, are on the take. The Salves  were off laoded there...the  wagon has been going in  and out  for  sometime now..I want to see if  we can hunt this out  ourselves, first...besides..slavers get good coin for thier  wares....I am thinking   we could outfit our selves pretty well, maybe  even give  the slaves  a few coins to take  with them...not to mention, stake out a few more slavers.... his jaw sets  once   more as he adds,..and if  the coucil, or  one of the members  are in on this...homes  are going to burn, and families  are going to be trimmed down. Its the  right payment, for using thier trust to  gain coin, from ruining  folk's lives.

That evening the group arrives in Lotan. You now have the city at your fingertips (so to speak).

  Kree Crouches near the dog  when they  take a rest. He looks the dog over..he puts his  hand out  slowly, with his plam up . He  talks soothingly to DSnare, but  still has the firmness couched in his voice.

  When  Snare puts up his  paw  to shake, Kree gives  the paw  a gentle pump, then takes  the time  to study the paw...Look here...at this  paw... he says  to Clair. he  lets that paw  loose, holding out the other hand. when Snare lifts  up the same paw, he chuckles  and says,"..no other one.."  and  taps the  beastoes other shoulder. When that paw comes up  he studies it as well. After letting the second paw  down, He  pats the dogs head and stading,..It  would seem..Snare  has been trained  for hunting. The obvious sign is his luck with the rabbits. But look athis  paws, they are well padded  from trips into  the trees, and fileds , i would say. Guard  dogs  tend  to have  the  front claws broken and jagged, from puling on the chain and  such...I am thinking, Next time  we make  camp. Clair  and I take  him into  the trees a space, and see if he  will track on command....alos? If  the Wee Beastie was a pet of   a Woodsman, there is  a good chance they taught him to watch, or guard...we will have top experiment. He seems overy bright  for a slaver dog...We killed many  of thier dogs, that were just mindless beasts , that werre used to chase down runaways. or help devour  corpses...

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg #197):

I see Kree, Snare acts smarter, we already did some hunting early this morning, Snare knows some basic commands (she will go through them, of course giving verbal and/or small tid bits of treats to him when he does each command (snare not Kree lol))  Quietly says guard may be dangerous if he protects one of us directly possibly hurting another while doing that.   Hunting down slaves, well that may be bad but I have not tried the At yak (attack) command.  Tymora has giving Snare a new outlook on life more free then before so I hope, giving sanre a good petting, he likes us.

Ok, so I think if we go straight to the warehouse they will be expecting us, trap thing.  How about we go to either Gosric or my church to seek sanctuary tonight, we can us Alvair as our reason and see what can be done for him.  I am affraid if we go to a tavern we will be spotted and word if not already out will be out.  grins adjusting her weapon handle, Of course if you want to take a crack at them right away, let's be off, though Alvair may not be trusted, yet. Looking to see Alvair reaction.

  Kree nods as Clair  speaks, as  they near the  town,..what i am thinking is  we go to the barn, after  dark, from the trees, We  do not  enter  the town as normal...If  The Slave r made his  way to the town already, he  and some henchmen...even  lawmen..could be waiting on us. I doubt they would suspect us  copming  in from the trees, at night, stright  to the barn. It may be a boon, to seek out the temples...but if the slaver spread word, that we attacked   he wagon? They might  turn on us...Though, one  would hope  that  Gosric's  abuduction , would be seen as truth

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg #199):

Well, is that a plan then, to sneak to the barn and see what traps we set off?  What do you all suggest we do with Alvair?

Right now. His  fate lies in the hands of  the LAdies. He  may  or may not know  what we needs  fear at the barn, but either way...he must prove himself worthy of life...and to do that, he  needs to strike back at the evil he served..whether  willingly  or nay..

In reply to Kree Quickshadow (msg #201):

Alvair, you heard Kree, you help us, you get a fare share of any coin we win from the slavers which if you do not get it by now, will pay for your voice back as me or Gosric can talk to our church leaders.  If yo choose to not help, so be it.  Of course if you choose to help Astar and the slavers further, hhmm I wonder how long Kree can keep you alive - calmly petting Snare.

the elf chuckles,..would  really like to break that record...

Senuviel finally breaks his silence...

Leave me alone with him. Maybe I can convince him to talk.

Moving into Lotan now.
